Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Summer of 13 Years Old
When I returned, it seems the three members of the 'Shivans' Guard' had been worried about me.
"Sorry. I was chasing after Hermann's Knight Commander, but..."
"If that's the case, we've already taken care of him over here."
"Huh? Regias did?"
The other two nodded. Apparently, when they tortured the guy who came to harass us, he spilled everything, including the matter of the Knight Commander, and then died.
So, as a future policy, we decided that when we capture criminals, those who can be used will be made subordinates. Those who aren't will be put to work in the rock salt mine.
"There's a place like that? Wow! As expected of Lord Shivans!"
"We'll need guards too, right? If you find good people, appoint them."
"Understood! Leave it to me!"
Yaris, whose chest has been swelling a little lately, perhaps thanks to the underwear, replied energetically.
"Young Master. Do you have a moment?"
"What is it, Vel?"
He said Passo's behavior was strange. Specifically, it was hard to say exactly what or how. If forced to say, he went from "can't even do what he's told" to "at least able to do what he's told." When Sera scolded him, he used to sulk, but lately he seems to be trying hard.
"I heard he changed after you gave him a warning, Young Master. I'd like you to teach me the trick to motivating my subordinates too?"
As if I have something like that. I'm just forcing that guy to work.
"It depends on the person, right? If there was a method that would make things go well if you did this, I'd want to know it too..."
Saying "Yeah, I guess so," he left.
Four months have passed since I came here. Summer is in full swing.
As usual, I was going back and forth between the Lord's Manor and my family home.
At the hot spring inn, sales of nutritional drinks and stamina boosters, as well as the All-in-One lotion, seem to be going extremely well. Emilia's parents are also selling them with great joy. Currently, they're only sold on the first floor of the Lord's Manor and at the souvenir shop of the hot spring inn, but it's just that I consider them inferior goods. At 10,000 G per bottle, on a good day they sell 1,000,000 G worth.
As the three of us were conquering the dungeon as usual, Reimi asked me something.
"Shivans, you embrace me and Emilia almost every day. Don't you get tired of it?"
"Are you tired of it, Reimi?"
Shaking her head, she said something that sounded like she was resentful: "You can tell by looking, right? You've turned me into a body like a total pervert."
"Same for me. If I weren't, I wouldn't bother coming back here every single day. I thought you understood that I properly love you?"
"I-Is that so... Then that's good! I love you too, you know?"
I wondered why it was a question. We delved into the dungeon until evening, and after returning, we had dinner and took a bath together. There, I decided to convey my feelings.
"Emi-nee, I think you know, but in the past, we were terribly poor..."
What I thought then was, even if I had knowledge, I had no money to use. No labor either. Even if I wanted to do something, if Father or Gale and the others opposed it, I couldn't do anything.
"For example, in the future, even if Emi-nee and Reimi became my concubines, what if our family fell back into poverty again after we had children? I thought it would be pitiful for the children to go through the same feelings I did. So now, I thought it would be good for you two to earn money while you can. In the future, I want you to have money you can use without worrying about Father and the others."
"I see," Emilia said, convinced.
"Certainly, everyone was poor in the past!"
She said that and laughed.
"You even intend to make me your concubine? I... I like devoting myself to one man, and my age is far apart from Shivans..."
I could tell she was worrying about her age and trying to distance herself, so I decided to embrace her.
"I understand! Let's do it!"
"Wait, Shivans... Ah! No! It feels so intense♡ Even Emilia... Don't make me any more lewd than this♡ Aaah! I'm coming, coming, coming♡"
The Next Morning
"You'll be my concubine, right?"
"Don't make a woman say it! I have the pride of an older woman, you know!"
When I performed a dogeza and said "Please," she replied, "W-Well... if you ask me that much, I can't say I hate it. However! I'm not going to noble social events or the palace!"
"I'll pass on that too. I learned my lesson last time... That's exactly why you should take a legal wife! Neither I nor Rei-nee can handle it physically!"
Emilia won't go to the Imperial Capital either... A legal wife... That's still a long way off.
At breakfast, they brought up that they were tired of Dinosaur Scorpions too.
Actually, the armor is already at a saturation point. I have tens of thousands of suits just stockpiled in my Inventory, but production is still ongoing. The materials for nutritional drinks and tonics are also more than plentiful. So, in a simple way, I'll put the things I want to stockpile into the Magic Box warehouse, and make Magic Box bags and pouches.
(If something happens, we can use them. I'll have to think about where to use them.)
When I returned to my room and was spacing out, Emilia got angry at me.
"Are you listening, Shivans? Is there nothing but the dungeon?"
"I'm listening, Emi-nee. Even if you say that..."
Reimi spoke up, saying she wanted to exterminate unusual monsters.
"The monster I want right now is a Wild Bear... but they don't appear, huh."
When I said that while looking at a Wild Bear's magic stone, Reimi said, "There's a possibility."
Apparently, there are past cases where a dungeon absorbed magic stones and the monsters that appeared changed. She said she had heard a story about how, long ago, someone forgot a different magic stone in a dungeon, and when they went to retrieve it the next day, it was gone. The adventurers made a fuss saying someone stole it, but it turned into a dispute because no one had stolen it. The next day, the monsters appearing in that dungeon completely changed.
"Then let's try placing ten. Let's test it!"
Immediately, we went deep into the dungeon and placed Wild Bear magic stones by the wall. They disappeared in about ten minutes, but even after waiting a while, there was no sign of anything appearing.
"Sorry. It might have been false info..."
"It's fine. You don't have to make that face. And that person said it was the next day too, right?"
"You're so kind, Shivans! I love you♡"
I hugged Reimi and we left the dungeon.
However, the next day,
the Adventurer Guild was in an uproar. That was...
"The monsters in the dungeon have completely changed!"
At Branch Chief Luigi's words, Reimi danced with wild joy.
"Right away, let's go for a hunt!"
Even if you say it so casually... This isn't a world on a screen... but even so, the fact that we're going doesn't change. We immediately started making a map.
"The area near the starting point hasn't changed, right?"
"But Emi-nee... be careful!"
It was Wild Spiders, Kobolds, and Goblins.
I devoted myself to the role of collecting the monsters the two of them hunted. While I'm at it, I'll collect the thread too!
Then, as we approached the next passage, Orcs and Wild Cattle came charging in a group, so I said "Leave it to me!" and created a swamp.
"Well done!!"
Emilia and Reimi shouted simultaneously. The enemies were in a sudden braking state, and Emilia and Reimi pierced their heads with their spears. The two of them energetically shouted "Oryaa!" and finished them off one after another.
(They have incredible stamina...)
They put their backs into it, lifting the heavy-looking monsters together, and threw them to me behind them.
"Our hips haven't been trained by Shivans for nothing, you know! Right, Emilia?"
"Yes! No matter how many times he makes me come, he makes me shake my hips! He's a brute!"
What is this... from my eyes...
"Keep it up," I cheered.
In the end, the two of them harvested? a whole 120 monsters for me.
In the next passage, the Wild Bears I'd been wanting to meet!
However, they had their necks pierced and died in the blink of an eye. As expected, throwing them here seemed impossible, so I went to collect them.
And then... when I opened the floor boss door, there was a huge cow.
"That's... a Kusarikku! Its meat is exquisite!"
"Shivans! Cook it deliciously!"
Emilia said something without a shred of tension, but she flew and cut its neck, while Reimi was stabbing its balls repeatedly.
Unable to bear it, the Kusarikku let out a scream of "Guoooh!" and went pigeon-toed. That feeling... I understand it painfully! It's intense pain, right...
"What are you trying to hide! It's big, but Shivans has a better shape! Show it to your big sister more! Just a little is fine! Just the tip..."
Reimi is breathing heavily, getting excited! The Kusarikku is already teary-eyed and looks like it's about to die. Emilia is saying "Rei-nee..." and recoiling!
Thud...
It died, collapsing with a sound, but something felt off.
"Eh? It died already? That was too fast! Big sister's punishment was just about to start! How weak!"
Reimi's character... has changed way too much...
We returned immediately and presented the floor boss at the Adventurer Guild. The adventurers buzzed with an "Oooh!" Thanks to the main road, hundreds of people are coming to this Adventurer Guild, and it has a reputation that "everyone here has better manners than in the Imperial Capital or other Adventurer Guilds."
(They get filtered the moment they pass through our territory, after all.)
"We'll remake the map again too!"
When I told the adventurers that, they sent cheers like "We're waiting!" and "We're counting on you!"
We took all the monsters to the Adventurer Guild's blood draining and butchering area.
"Is it okay to drain the blood tonight and butcher them tomorrow morning? How should we sort them?"
For the worthless monsters, I had them remove the fat. The rest goes to the disposal site in the desert. I asked them to separate the rest into fat, hide, meat, and so on, and handed over a Magic Box bag.
"Okay! Leave it to us! We're looking forward to your tip again, Young Master!"
That Night
In the reverse sitting position, thrust into from behind, Emilia had no composure whatsoever.
"Ufu. Your boobs are getting bigger again! Your pussy is making such wet, squelching sounds too... Hey, Shivans! Try pinching Emilia's nipples, tight!"
Reimi said that, so when I pinched them tight, she screamed "Kah!... Aaah!" and convulsed, trembling. As I repeated thrusting with squelching sounds, she came over and over.
"N-No more... No... I'm coming too much, I'm going to die!"
"Look at Emilia! Making such a lewd face and drooling, so cute!"
Reimi licked Emilia's face and neck.
"No... Shivans, kiss me... I want to come together!"
"Yeah! I'm going to release, Emi-nee!"
As I poured into her, her expression became one of ecstasy.
Next was Reimi. As I ravished her in the same reverse sitting position, Emilia called out.
"Even though your chest and ass are so big... men fall for this slender waist, right? Do you know, Shivans? Rei-nee's pussy has been twitching this whole time! She's been coming continuously! Hey, pinch her clit, tight!"
When I pinched her clit tight, she screamed, "No, no! It feels good! A"A"A"Ah! I'm cuuuming—!" Furthermore, when Emilia toyed with her nipples saying, "Rei-nee is going to squirt! Ei!", she shouted, "Don't play with my nipples and clit at the same time!" and gushed spectacularly.
"Now, Shivans! Thrust deep into Rei-nee!"
"No! I'm coming right now♡ My pussy is breaking—! Cumming, cumming, cumming!"
At the end, she squirted magnificently and fainted.
From the next morning, the two of them were eager for the dungeon conquest.
"You two are unusually fired up?"
"We have to work hard on our savings!"
Apparently, the two of them had discussed what would happen after they became concubines. Leaving the vanguard to the speedy pair, I focused on mapping and collection. We hunted down every last one of the Wild Boars, Wild Cattle, and Wild Bears that seemed particularly profitable.
"Now! Come on out!"
The floor boss Kusarikku somehow looked frightened. We defeated it in less than five minutes, left the dungeon, and requested the blood draining and butchering. We then repeated the process of charging into the dungeon again. We managed to make seven round trips today!
"As expected of the two Speedsters!"
They looked happy when I praised them.
We repeated this for five days, receiving meat, hide, fat, and blood.
"Young Master? What do you use blood for? It only attracts monsters, you know?"
"That's exactly why I need it! Thank you!"
Emilia looked puzzled that I wasn't selling the meat and hides. Reimi, with a knowing look, explained.
"The hides, you see. People in the north will buy them for a higher price. The meat is cheap right now because other adventurers are selling it here. So, he probably plans to sell it around the Imperial Capital!"
That was exactly right, but I told them that hides would sell for even more if sold after autumn.
"I see! Sell them for a high price, Shivans!"
"Leave it to me, Emi-nee!"
When I returned to the Lord's Manor for the first time in a while, a pigeon had arrived.
"What... did you say...?"
"Did something happen?"
Sera looked worried.
"No, it's not bad news. It was just surprising news, so I was shocked."
What was that news?
It was from Aristo.
Grandmother Pregnant
That was what was written. Of course, I knew that Aqua, Noah, and Tima had become pregnant.
(Is it that... because of the All-in-One lotion? And probably because she was rejuvenated by my 'High Heal' too...)
For the time being, more than that, I have to make the All-in-One lotion! One happy thing was that I can now make high-grade products not just from Wild Bears, but also from Wild Boars and Wild Cattle!
I decomposed the fat and turned Aqua Heal water into lotion.
(Wait... couldn't this water itself sell too?)
I'll put Aqua Heal Water into 500ml bottles and try selling it as 'Holy Water Aqua'. I have to do something like a registered trademark, or counterfeits will circulate immediately.
When I consulted Sera, she said, "Why not try selling it at the Lord's Manor shop as a test?" So I had them sell the All-in-One Premium along with it.
The high-grade All-in-One lotion is 300,000 G per bottle, an unimaginable price from my perspective, but will it sell? I watched nervously.
As a result, 100 bottles sold out in the blink of an eye! Certainly, I made the bottles with a luxurious feel, but does it sell this well?
(For now, let's take it to the Imperial Capital!)
When I arrived at Klaus's family home, there was some kind of dispute.
"You came at a good time! First, listen to what I have to say!"
"What's the matter, Lord Windam?"
In short, he was furious that his mother had become pregnant, saying it was embarrassing and couldn't be made public.
"Even Aqua is embarrassing enough!"
"Windam! You're the one who got her pregnant!"
His wife and Windam were having a huge fight. Aristo was flustered, almost in tears, saying, "What should I do... Shivans, help!"
"Lord Windam, as a man, you are unaware of the pains of childbirth, correct? It's said to be a pain a man couldn't endure. Are you aware of that?"
"N-No... I don't know, and I've never thought about it."
"Would you like to experience it? A simulated experience? It's enough to make you think you might die. In reality, it's possible for a woman to die, you know?"
When I moved to prepare, he panicked, "Wait, wait! Why do I have to undergo this simulated experience or whatever?"
"It's to make you understand, Lord Windam, since you say it's embarrassing. How much hardship women go through. I believe it's not good to casually hurt women without knowing that."
"I understand... I was wrong... I won't ever say it's embarrassing again. Please, forgive me. I'm bad with pain and I hate it..."
Klaus was lecturing him, "Apologize to Marino and Aqua!"
So, I told Aristo the story about mantises.
"Female mantises, when it's time to lay eggs, sometimes 'chomp' down and eat the male they're mating with. Don't you think it's good to be human? Because a simple apology is enough."
When I said "Chomp" a little loudly, Windam let out a strange "Eep!" sound, making everyone around laugh.
"However, Shivans-kun, nature truly is your teacher. A male being eaten by the female, huh."
Saying that, Klaus looked at Windam.
"W-What is it, Father...? I absolutely won't say it's embarrassing anymore! I won't do that simulated experience either! Being eaten or whatever... impossible!"
When Aristo laughed at the frightened Windam, saying, "If Father were a mantis in his next life, it looks like he'd be eaten right away," Windam made everyone laugh by saying, "I absolutely won't mate! I won't go near any females!"
Then, when I said, "I've brought souvenirs again this time!", the five of them applauded.
"I have a question for Lady Marino and Lady Aqua. How is your morning sickness?"
They said it was worse last time, but they still have it to some extent, so I borrowed the kitchen and made fruit sherbet ice cream. In the meantime, I brought out the 'Holy Water Aqua' and a carbonated version of it.
"First, please drink these two types. This is water called 'Holy Water Aqua' and carbonated water. I'm sorry for using Lady Aqua's name so much."
When I apologized, she shook her head and murmured in a small voice, "I'm happy," so quietly that only I could hear.
Then I served the fruit sherbet I made.
"It's summer, and I hear many people find it easier to eat something with a little sourness."
When they took a bite, Lady Marino praised it highly, saying, "Delicious! This is it, this, this! This is what I wanted!" Is Aqua moved? She looked like she was crying a little.
Then, I prepared the lobster and steak that the men were waiting for.
"This time, I will cook right in front of everyone!"
When I cooked the meat on an oiled iron plate, applying fire magic from above to sear both sides, a cheer of "Oooh!" went up. The aroma of soy sauce and the appetizing smell should be wonderful!
"Now, gentlemen, please enjoy the sweetness and umami of the meat cooked rare! For Lady Marino and Lady Aqua, I've cooked it through to make it easier to eat! It's thinly sliced, but please enjoy it with this sauce. I think the depth of the meat and the sauce match perfectly!"
The men praised it, saying it certainly had sweetness and was a juicy meat quality. The two women also highly praised it, saying, "I didn't have an appetite, but... I can eat this!"
"Please have the lobster tomorrow, after it's been purged!"
And then, saying it was for Lady Marino and Lady Aqua, I presented 100 bottles of the All-in-One lotion, which I named 'Premium'.
"I was finally able to produce the amount equivalent to the payment from last time! Thank you very much!"
When I hinted that I wouldn't accept payment for these 100 bottles, Lady Marino gave a wry smile.
After that, when we took a bath, Aristo said something surprising.
"You'll be 14 next year, right? After Grandmother gives birth, I'm getting married to Aria! You have to come too, Shivans! And bring that girl who picked a fight with you!"
I was so surprised I couldn't say anything, and Klaus and Windam laughed at me. Then, when I asked, "What about school?", he said, "Of course, both of us will take the exams!"
"Eh? If you have a child, will you bring the child along?"
"Hey, hey, Shivans. You're so surprised you've lost your usual way of speaking! There's no way we'd have a child, right? We won't be sleeping together."
He said that in a slightly embarrassed tone.
"Understood! I will overcome all obstacles to attend my best friend's wedding!"
When I saluted, they burst out laughing.
After that, when it was time for treatment, Lady Marino said, "The cheerful voices from the men's bath could be heard over here too," so I apologized, thinking we were too loud, but she said that wasn't it.
"Please, always stay Aristo's friend. I'm asking you."
"Of course!"
That Night
When I slept in Aqua's room, she said, "Hey? They say your sex drive drops when you get pregnant, right? But I think my pussy is soaking wet right now. Touch it!" So I touched it, and it was.
"Please... just a little is fine, put your cock in! Can you hold back near the entrance? I'll hold back too!"
In a spooning position from behind, when I inserted just a little, she cried, saying, "Ah... I really am happy! I feel loved..."
Immediately, squelching sounds were made, and she said, "It's frustrating not having it all the way in, but... it feels incredibly good! Kiss me! If you want to release, go ahead!" and shook her own hips.
"It's okay! You! I... I'm about to come! You! I love you!"
It seems she came. But perhaps thinking it would be bad if I couldn't come, she took me deep into her mouth. Thinking it must be hard with her morning sickness, I had her do a titty fuck fellatio and ejaculated.
She made slurping sounds, sucking it in and cleaning it up nicely.
"Thank you for coming to see me! When I thought you loved me so much that you even made a product with the name Aqua, I started crying!"
When I hugged her tightly, she said, "Hold me until morning," and fell asleep.
